Grote 12272-5 Elliptical Convex Valve

The Grote 12272-5 is an elliptical convex spot mirror designed for vehicle side mounting on either the driver or passenger side. It provides an expanded field of view to assist with lane changes and parking manoeuvres. The unit is a non-heated, non-motorised accessory suited for drivers seeking a simple, fixed-angle blind-spot solution.

8 inch acrylic convex mirror surface

The single specification that determines fitment is the 8 inch elliptical convex mirror surface made from acrylic with a black backing of acrylic and steel. This curved reflective area dictates the viewing angle and distortion profile. Buyers needing a flat mirror or a different diameter should look elsewhere because the convex shape and fixed size are not adjustable.

Fixed mounting with no heating or motorisation

The mirror ships as a complete unit ready for installation without additional wiring harnesses or control modules. The absence of heating elements and motorised adjustment means there are no electrical connections to route. Installers only require basic hand tools for the mechanical mount, reducing fitting time compared to powered alternatives.

Questions about this item

How does the 8‑inch elliptical convex mirror perform once mounted on a vehicle?

The 8‑inch elliptical convex surface gives a wider field of view than a flat mirror, helping you see more of the lane beside and behind the vehicle without moving your head.

What mounting standard does the mirror use and what does it limit?

The mirror is designed for standard side‑mirror brackets on driver or passenger doors, so it fits the existing bolt pattern and does not require drilling or adapters.

What physical clearance and backing material are needed for installation?

The acrylic mirror with black acrylic‑steel backing fits the factory mirror housing; ensure the housing depth can accept the convex curve and that the mounting surface is flat and clean.
